$1,000 Spray Makes Gadgets Waterproof

Rio writes "A new $1,000 spray claims to protect notebook computers, iPods, cell phones and other electronic gadgets from liquid, making them completely waterproof, a Local6.com report says. A creator of the technology said it could be used for emergency first-responders, bio-medical devices and historic preservation." This might be a bit of a flashback from last year.

  1. OT - your sig by sm62704 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Moderation is always retroactive. But I clicked your link, looked at the comments marked "troll", and I hate to break it to you, son, but all the comments marked "troll" are, indeed, trolls. Look up "internet troll" on wikipedia and you'll see that a "troll" is an offtopic comment designed to generate an emotional response.

    An example of one of your trolls is a link to a wikipedia article about an album with a disparaging word about a particular race as its name, and your comment was "what does the the slashdot community think about this?" It had nothing to do with the article, summary, or comment it responded to. I am not a member of the race you seem to hate, but that doesn't make what you did any less a troll.

    The comment I'm responding to isn't a troll and it won't be modded "troll". But all the comments I looked at in your comment history that were marked "troll" were indeed trolls, and if I'm asked to metamoderate the moderations (I usually metamoderate at least daily) I will mod the mods as "fair". I don't think anyone who modded your comments has anything to fear from other metamoderators, either.

    If you want to troll, show some balls and do your trolling in meatspace.

    You really should change your sig and stop trolling. Stop trolling and you'll mostly stop being modded "troll" (even though everybody gets downmodded from time to time). Mods, I'm checking "no karma bonus" but please feel free to mod this down farther (offtopic) if you wish.
